I loved everything about Garden’s House. I wish I had come a few days early to stay in this lovely little haven longer. It felt like a home away from home. Luis and Randall are experts in hospitality, and they have established a wonderfully comfortable, peaceful, and beautiful place for travelers to stay in Costa Rica. Value for price is excellent. Breakfast was delicious and the back patio was my favorite place to lounge. I would definitely come back to Garden’s House again, and I will recommend to anyone I know that plans to stay in Alajuela.

We enjoyed the apartment so much that we ended up extending our stay for one extra night. Adrian was very welcoming and efficient when I arrived. Then Olga was extremely caring and friendly for the rest of our stay. Both of them gave us lots of tips and helped us with transportation to interesting places and the airport. We found the flat cozy and very clean with lots of attention to detail. It contains everything you need and more for a comfortable stay. The location is quiet in a residential area, but close to Alajuela center.

The location is very close to the airport. Patricia was able to pick me up and help orient me to taking a bus to Monteverde. She went above and beyond to help out. In the morning her and Alexander made breakfast, a delicious typical Costa Rican breakfast! Delicious and filling. It's the perfect spot near the airport or to check out Alajuela. The room is simple but comfortable and clean. Private bathroom and comfy bed. I plan on staying there again!!

The room was quiet and naturally chilled in a historic building meaningfully adjacent to the city center of Alajuela. The architecture took lighting into consideration to brighten up the rooms using daylight reflecting off the walls. The staff paid attention to the food and personally cared about the property. The fruit salad and the veggie egg scramble were perfectly made. The breakfast in the beautiful courtyard was great for starting the day.

Staff were very helpful and friendly! While there is not a lot nearby, Ubers were so easy and quick in Costa Rica arriving within minutes. There is also a tiny convenience store next door if you need snacks or drinks. Pool was very pretty, and the dining area is beautiful. It is a very quiet place to stay if you are looking for a peaceful, remote feeling while also having Alajuela nearby for restaurants, stores etc.

We stayed for the first 2 nights of our trip and the last night before leaving Costa Rica. The hotel staff were lovely and could not have been more helpful. The hotel location is very convenient for the airport and a central place for wandering around Alajuela, finding restaurants, etc. The garden dining area was a pleasant place to relax, and the breakfast was delicious (the best Gallo pinto of our trip).

Great location for airport and for visiting the former capital of Alajuela (well worth it). Lovely small pool area and separate restaurant area with good food. Great to have an owner who cares about birds and who goes out of his way to attract birds to the sizeable garden. Regular haunt for birdwatchers on their way in or out of Costa Rica with free (morning) airport shuttle.

I think the highlight of my stay at Alajuela Backpackers was the staff, they were helpful, friendly and flexible which was greatly appreciated as I made several mistakes with my booking. I also tried the restaurant which provided quick and tasty food. Overall I greatly enjoyed my stay at the hostel and would recommend it handily if staying in a private room.

The apartment's location is excellent, just a few meters away from shops and restaurants. You can walk from the apartment to Alajuela's downtown in just under 15 minutes and the trip from the airport is short, Damaris the caretaker was super friendly the whole time, she was always around if I needed anything. Overall it was a great experience.

Uber ride from the apartment to the airport took less than 10 minutes. Located in a quiet, safe neighborhood in walking distance to downtown Alajuela. Apartment was spacious, clean, and had a washing machine and three comfy beds. Olga was exceptionally kind and ensured that we had everything we needed and more, e.g. coffee, creamer, and snacks too!

Away from the hustle and bustle of Alajuela in a country setting. Parking and a restaurant on site. Restaurant was decent and reasonably priced. Owner was friendly and helpful. Room was pretty large and the bed was softer than the norm in Costa Rica. All in all a good place for us to spend an extra night while waiting for our luggage to arrive.

My stay at Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela was fantastic. The staff were welcoming and efficient, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient for airport access. The complimentary breakfast was a delightful addition. Highly recommend this hotel for a pleasant stay in Alajuela.

The dome was so fun to stay in and the family that hosted us was so accommodating!!! They shuttled us to the poas volcano, the la Paz Waterfall, and into alajuela to our next hotel! We ordered food from them night 1 and it was delicious. All around it was a wonderful experience for us and we highly recommend it!

I was welcomed by the owners Carmen and Felix. They are really thoughtful and will do everything to make your stay super comfortable. It is like coming home. The apartment has everything you need. The neighbourhood is perfectly located. Close to the airport and the town of Alajuela and a big shopping mall.

Our stay was lovely. It is an excellent value for money. The hostel has a quiet and chilled atmosphere. The hammock area is especially pleasant :) Roman, the host is very kind and helpful. The kitchen is very well equipped. If we go through Alajuela again we will definitely try to book again.

Very nice home cooked breakfast and a great view of local life from the front porch. This place was such a great alternative to hotel/condo stays! Highly recommend if you want to be close to Alajuela and San Jose but away from the noise and traffic. 5 minutes from the airport!

A good value stay close to the airport in the central part of Alajuela. Staff was very nice and extremely helpful. Continental breakfast was fine. Found the hostel to be very clean. Excellent wifi and they brought a chair and desk to my room so I could work remotely.

The host took the time to explain to us about the place. It was more of a hostel than a hotel. Very convenient as you are in Alajuela, you can walk anywhere. Full kitchen facilities and a nice small yard. Host was nice and gave me some advice on off street parking.

Excellent breakfast included. It was a delicious hot breakfast and had fresh fruit. Great overall value. All the staff members were friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay at Park View Hotel and Restaurant when in Alajuela, Costa Rica again.

The staff was welcoming and helpful, the hotel was spotlessly clean and welcoming, the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast in the garden was lovely. Walkable to anything we wanted to see in Alajuela
